Removal of writing in marker and fluorescent pens from walls/ceilings

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 2.32 PM

Moved into a house with a room covered in writing on the walls/ceilings in marker and fluorescent pens. Have now painted using stain block and undercoat but the marking is still still visible. Is there any other paint that I can use to cover this or can I use some sort of top paint/graffiti removal? Thanks

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

It will bleed through a normal gloss but white spirit will remove most of it then apply a special binder/sealer coat available from all good paint suppliers ..... To be 100% I would apply a 14gauge lining paper this will eliminate everything

Try oil based gloss that should do the trick. Stain blocks are an exspensive waste of time.
